To @ZZ 'whom it may conce/m Beit known that I, IVILLIAM SEGMAN, a citizen ot the United States of America, and a resident oic the city of of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State et New York, have invented a new and YImproved Bracelet, of which the following is a` description. f

My invention relates to bracelets and more particularly to a chain bracelet and theinvention has tor its general object to provide a chain bracelet improved in various particulars toembody strength combined With attractiveV appearance andembodying links of' simple form Well adaptedV for receiving stones in a desirablearrangement.

Reference is to be hadto the raccompan ing drawings forming a part oit this specification, it being understood that the dra-Wings are merely illustrative ot one example of the invention Figure 1 is a planview of a section of a bracelet embodying my invention;

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same; 'Y Figure 3 is a longitudinal section on the `line 3 3 Figure 1;

Figure 4f represents a cross section` In carrying outiuy invention in accordance with the illustrated example I provide links 1() which in the preferred forni of the invention` are elliptical, vsaid links alternating -with shorter links 11 having at theoppositie ends thereoiE tapered or il-shaped recesses .12 to accommodate the tapered ends ot the links 10. r

rThe links 10 are formed with slots 13 parallel with the inner and outer faces ot said links and extending 'from points -near the and intermediate shorter links, both of said links having slots parallel With the inner and transverse center oi' the link to points adjacent the ends oi the link. Siinilarly,the intermediate links 11 have longitudinal slots 14 Vparallel with the inner and outer iaces. Thegslots 13 of alink 10 overlap the slots'lli in the links 11 andconnection is completed by transverse pins 15- passed- Vthrough the respective slots,` the pins'serv# ing tov hold the tapered ends of they links 10 in the recesses 12 of the links New York, borough Will be observed that the slots 1S and 14(v are sli ghtlynearer one face of the chain than the opposite tace to give the chain` a more kpronounced'ilexibilityin one direction than the other.

.The relliptical links 10 are recessed for almost their complete area as at 16 at the inner side of the link and central of and registering' with the recessed portion 16 is a hole17 for the setting of a large stone and ypositioning of thesame centrally of the link and in practice also the links 10 at the outer surface thereof are formed with holes 18 be Y tween the central holes 17 and the ends of the link toV receive smaller stones. Inthe links 1l a hole 19 is formed at each side ot' the Y medial line of the link for receiving two alining stones in aplane transverse to the stones in the linkvlO.

I would state Yin conclusion that while the Villustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly tothe exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, thesame can bef considerablyvaried Without departure from the` spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims. l

kvHaving thusdescribed'my invention, I claim: f f

1.4 A bracelet composed of elliptical linksY and intermediate shorter links, the latter links having end recesses conforming to the tapered ends of the iirst-mentioned links together `with pins f passing transversely l through "thetapered ends of the first-mentioned linksand through the intermediate links at the recesses thereof.V
